and supports the one who actually gets things done. 
And also, Sanders will need Clinton voters or vise versa come the GE. Call names too many times, people get salty and stay home on GE day. It only takes a few percentage points to send swing states into the red column.
"gonna surprise a whole lotta folks" - just perhaps not in the way that you think. 
Anthony Foxx is a lifelong Democrat, with a sterling professional and political career. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Foxx
He isn't merely choosing to "dance with the star." That is a very condescending remark about someone who certainly knows his own mind.
Next up, breaking news:
WATER IS WET!
I detect a touch jealousy. 
... you'll always have "Killer Mike". 
but that said, if you haven't already, I suggest you check out his barbershop interview, it was a great part of this election whoever wins.
And I love the posts screaming that this guys is a "hack" and a "tool" when we all know if he'd endorsed someone else he'd be a "principled warrior in the fight against the ubiquitous oligarchy."
Your avoiding the real issue, which is Anthony Foxx, by smearing a politician he had dealings with in 2004, five years before the investigation was launched.
And also, you conveniently forget to mention that Mel Watt was CLEARED of any wrong doing. http://www.wsoctv.com/news/news/local-govt-politics/local-lawmaker-cleared-in-ethics-probe/nG9p4/
So yeah, this seems like a person I should be supporting, considering he was our MOST PROGRESSIVE member of congress at the time and also one of two AA reps from my state.
And also, the Executive Director of the c3 who brought charges has her own ethics issues:

And she worked for Bill and Hillary Clinton for a while. And Tony Blair. And Bill Gates.
That seems like a person Sanders supporters should be supporting? Seeing as she worked for oligarchs and shit.
seem to be difficult for you. Strawman, tu que, nonsequituers, Etc.....
You are attacking some guy that Anthony Foxx worked for FIVE YEARS before he was charged with a thing by a woman WHO WORKED FOR CLINTON and that was eventually dismissed. So what does that have to do with anything in the first place?
And the fact that he worked for a law office that you don't like BEFORE he was even a mayor, much less tapped for Transport. Hmmmm, maybe he had school loans to pay off? Needed a job like any young person carrying big student debt?
That's some weak shit. That must be difficult for you.

Secretary Foxx has a long and admirable record if public service and all you can dig up is that he was once sued?
Did you know that he clerked for a federal judge who is revered as one of the the country's leading civil rights champions? Are you aware that, under his leadership, the Department of Transportation is investigating the closing of DMVs to determine whether it discriminates against minirity residents? Have you bothered to learn ANYTHING about him other than the fact that he's a lawyer and somebody sued him?
You epitomize the point I made in another thread (which, unfortunately, was locked as "off-topic" - it is absolutely disgusting to see Democrats go out of their way to smear other Democrats, merely because they support a Democrat other than their preferred candidate.
Shame on you.
with the oligarchs-in-chief? And I don't line up to crucify ANYONE. That seems to be your job. And you only do it to progressives.
And WTF does Tony Podesta have to do with any of this?
Going by some of the posts on this board, you're wasting your breath, shame is what they don't have.
Soon, it'll be running over a cabinet secretary, I guess.
It's funny how many people who do not even know who this person is are condemning him for this endorsement.
Well, not funny, really. Sad, instead.
I know this guy. Like ACTUALLY know him from his time in Charlotte. He is the ultimate up-by-the-boot-straps hometown hero. He did so much for our local economy with his progressive vision. Got light rail built, DNC convention, re-vitalized the urban core. Talented politician too, from a tactical standpoint.
But he goes under the bus because he endorses Clinton. And Mel Watt, our most progressive rep goes under the bus too. Waiting to see if they are going to throw Harvey Gantt, civil rights activist and ex-Charlotte mayor under too.
Because, YES! Let's piss all over the brightest luminaries from the only Southern state to break for the Dems in forever, who also happen to be some of the most influential AA politicians in the country! Because Sanders won't need their help or supporters AT ALL if he wins the nom!
Be sure to watch the video - it's hilarious.

Secretary Foxx and FAA clear Santa and his sleigh
WASHINGTON, DC. In late-breaking news, the Department of Transportation has approved an application submitted by a Mr. Kris Kringle (d/b/a "Santa Claus" for special air transportation operating authority.
That authority, limited to a single night, was announced in a hastily-assembled press conference by U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx. According to Foxx, Kringle has outfitted his vehicle, an "airborne sleigh," with an 8 RP engine and has on hand a ninth reindeer equipped with supplemental safety and navigation gear. The Federal Aviation Administration has inspected the unusual vehicle and certified its airworthiness.
In addition to sharing Santa's concern for supplemental nutrition along the marathon route, the Secretary also reminded the red-suited pilot about the Carolina Panthers jersey on his wish list.
Once Santa is airborne, responsibility for tracking his progress falls under the authority of the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD).
Now in its 60th year, the Official NORAD Santa Tracker will monitor the red-suited pilot throughout the duration of his flight. Consistent with NORAD emphasis on transparency, the Tracker, complete with countdown clock, is publicly accessible at www.noradsanta.org.
All of us at DOT wish the "jolly old elf" a safe and successful flight.
I got a call from a volunteer and an invite. Which is weird, because I don't do local Dem Party work at all, just gritty c3 voter education and registration, really under the radar. Most local politicians would have no idea who I was, at least then. But Foxx somehow knew that I did work with underserved and under represented groups and reached out. I could kick myself that I didn't go. I had two little ones in diapers then and couldn't get a sitter or something
But yeah, now he is practically a Koch or some bullshit because he does not genuflect at the altar of Bernie. Kochs and their little brother Art Pope f'ing wrecked my state. These smears of good people who are fighting the good fight are getting really old.
